Biographical information on Henry W. Seely is scarce, but we know he was connected with people who are better-known figures in American history.
In 1882 he kept only one third of the rights in his now his famous electric flat-iron patent and assigned (sold?) the other two thirds to Samuel Insull and Richard N. Dyer, Thomas Edison's patent attorney. At that time Seely was in New York City, but in 1883 patent documents say he was "of Menlo Park, New Jersey".
He was a witness to many of Edison's patents, including his 1881 "incandescing electric lamp". For a couple of years in the early 1880s the H. W. Seely signature appeared on more than 100 patents, and he went on acting as an occasional witness up to 1892.
Henry W. Seely was in partnership with Dyer for some years, but Dyer had other legal/business partnerships too. Dyer & Seely are often mentioned in a collection of Edison's papers and the firm is named in New York Times reports of major legal cases defending Edison's light bulb and phonograph patents. But it was Dyer who appeared in court, not Seely. The Dyer family were socially prominent (in East Orange, NJ), but apparently Seely was not.
Did he have any idea how useful and popular "his" invention might become? The 1883 patent suggests he and Dyer had their doubts about the practicality of an iron that had to be hooked up to an electric circuit

I assume the media would not have protected him as they do the current President, but with the news of wire taps on the media's private phones the honeymoon may soon be finished.
